RO systems are inexpensive. You're pretty handy so it would be easy for you to install.
The cold water line tap is just a regular water line tap and screws on the cold water pipe and punctures it and seals it.
The drainage line goes to your drain and may be more of a challenge to those not familiar with plumbing.
The fixture requires a hole in the sink, and the installers used my soap dispenser hole, but told me that they would use the sprayer if there was not an extra hole. They told me that they just leave the sprayer attached, but under the sink.
The filters costs about $10 a year to change, but the RO filter must be changed every 3 years an can be $35 to $60. They are incredibly easy to replace, so I do it myself. Now you know all that I know. It may be less expensive in the long run to get an RO system. There are probably a lot of youtube vids showing installation, explaining better than a medical doctor, lol.
Can you clarify this for me please? Are you saying that they install the RO system under the sink and can just attach some sort of a spigot to it under the sink?
I've been putting off getting a RO system simply because I will need to replace the sink to get another hole. Instead of just the added cost of a RO system, I thought I needed to also replace the sink, the garbage disposal, the faucets.... It seemed a lot cheaper to send my husband out to fill up water jugs at the grocery store. He doesn't share my view point.
